Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday said 34,000 metric tons of Russian Fertilizer meant for Nigeria was stuck at EU ports.
According to Russian News Agency, TASS, Mr Lavrov speaking to reporters at the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, said 260,000 metric tons of Russian fertilizers have been stranded in EU ports since 2022.
“But we are ready to give these fertilizers to African countries for free. It took six months to deliver the first batch of 20,000 tons to Malawi, and another three months to take another 30,000 tons to Kenya,” TASS quoted him as saying, adding that “we also have 34,000 tons for Nigeria, but have so far been unable to send it.”
